Jensen Monk re-signs! Aren't players with daft names always a harbinger of success for us?


“I really want to kick on this year and earn my spot in the 17 each week.” Given we only have 4 other players that seems an achievable goal.

So Sam Whinney signs up. Are we signing a player every 50 Memberships we sell? Good luck to the lad but age 20 to sign first pro contract? Hope he's a late blossomer.

Re: New Players : Mon Nov 11, 2024 1:30 pm  
I may be wrong, but it looks like players are signing 1 year contracts which you might say is reasonable given the doubt about Broncos' future. While I can see why we wouldn't want to saddle the club with the expense of 2/3 year contracts, what is wrong with following Football's example & adding a 1 year club held option? We should know before the end of next season if we are going again in 2026. Otherwise any standout performers will head north.

I'm just glad we have added another player - as we edge closer and closer to being able to announce a starting 13 :lol:

And Ben Hursey-Hord so that makes 7. Not getting a sense Toulouse and Bradford will be looking over their shoulder too hard but we do appear to be inching towards the starting line.

It is what it is. From what we know about our finances the likely hood is the 7 are being paid out of the 10k crowd funder, circa 300 STs and 50 odd shirt sales and a few quid from the lottery In the circumstances it’s good if not thrilling news. Gawd knows how we’re paying for PL plus training facilities. Maybe we held a bit back from central funding this year?

Do NOT buy any replica kit!
It may come down to: anyone in the ground with the current shirt is in the 17.

Crikey! I have a shirt on order. Better ask Santa for a pair of boots this Christmas.

Might be better asking for a life jacket in case we sink without trace!
